Duyen Quynh's MV "Vietnam's Radiant Brocade".
The singer stated this project represents her largest investment in time and finances to date. Instead of filming in a studio, Duyen Quynh and her team traveled from North to South, aiming to capture the diverse landscapes, daily life, and distinct cultural traits of many localities for the MV.
Dozens of iconic Vietnamese landmarks appear in the production, including the Hanoi Flag Tower, Ha Long Bay, the Northwest mountains, the Central Highlands, Truong Tien Bridge, and the floating markets of the Mekong Delta. At each destination, Duyen Quynh adopted a different look to suit the setting, transforming into a highland girl, wearing a purple ao dai from Hue, donning a traditional ba ba shirt in the riverine region, or showcasing Khmer attire.

Duyen Quynh explained that the MV's concept stemmed from her travels during her music career. "Vietnam has so many beautiful landscapes, and its people are friendly and hospitable. I believe even if I made MVs my whole life, it would be difficult to fully explore all the cultural elements", Duyen Quynh said.
"Vietnam's Radiant Brocade" was composed by Duyen Quynh in late 2025. Positive audience feedback encouraged her to develop the song into an MV, choosing National Day 2/9 for its official release. The song blends heroic and lyrical tones, praising the scenery, people, and spirit of unity.
Duyen Quynh stated that during the recording process, she focused on emotion rather than technical display, aiming for intimacy with listeners. "Through this product, I want to convey the message that everyone can contribute to introducing Vietnam's image to international friends", the singer said.

In recent years, Duyen Quynh has prioritized songs about her homeland. She does not feel pressured to surpass previous successes, viewing each project as a step in her journey to use music to tell stories about Vietnamese culture and people.
Duyen Quynh, 36, from Dak Lak, graduated from the Vocal Department of TP HCM Conservatory of Music in 2015. After graduating, she worked for the Ho Chi Minh City Ballet Symphony Orchestra and Opera (HBSO). In early 2019, she competed in "Ban nhac quyen nang" (The Power Band), winning runner-up. In the same year, Duyen Quynh won "Nguoi ke chuyen tinh mua ba" (The Storyteller of Love Season three). After the competition, besides singing, she also did film dubbing and composed music. In 2025, she gained recognition for the song "Viet tiep cau chuyen hoa binh" (Continuing the Story of Peace), composed by Nguyen Van Chung. The song became a social media sensation, featured in many art programs, and garnered billions of views across platforms.
Earlier this year, Duyen Quynh apologized for not providing a "professional experience" to the audience after being caught lip-syncing at the Green Wave Awards 2025.
